The Volgograd Tractor Factory is a heavy equipment factory located in Volgograd. The factory produces tractors and military equipment. During World War II, the factory was known as the Stalingrad Tracktornyy Zavod (Stalingrad Tractor factory, STZ) and retooled to produce equipment for the Red Army, most notably the T-34 tank. It became world-famous during the Battle of Stalingrad for the fierce battles fought there. (Source: Wikipedia). Most of its suppliers were also set up in Stalingrad – armour plates were manufactured by the ‘Krasniy Oktyabr’ (Red October) Factory and hulls were manufactured by the nearby Stalingradsky Dockyard (Factory 264).
Post-war the factory produced the PT-76 and BMD air transportable vehicles.

This T-34-76 is displayed on a plinth outside the STZ (Stalingrad Tractor Zavod) Tank Plant in the north of Volgograd. The inscription on the tank reads “For Stalingrad”, that on the plinth reads “Tank T-34. This monument is to the glory of the workers of the Volgograd Tractor Zavod in the years of the Great Patriotic War 1941-45”.
In addition there are also sixteen T-34-76 turrets around the city centre and along the riverbank. These pedestal-mounted turrets denote the front line on 19 November 1942, at the height of the battle. They are mainly the Model 1943 type, along with some Model 1941 STZ turrets from the local tank plant.
